What movie did you watch last night? (18 Viewers)

[xsteox]

Green room. It's grand, like. Worth a viewing, if there's not much else on.

 

[Unicron]

Manchester by the sea, marvelous

 

[Anthony]

Little Men. We watched based on Joe Cornish's film recommendations. It was ok.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Got Blow Out on and Blood Simple after. Watched Millers Crossing earlier. Classic American crime films ftw

 

[Unicron]

Saw Manchester By The Sea on Saturday, thought it was terrific.

Saw La La Land tonight. Pile of shit

 

[hugh]

Saw Silence tonight. Boring and shite.

Saw La La Land tonight. Pile of shit

saw it at the weekend and surprised myself by not hating it. I did go with low expectations though.

I thought it was beautifully made and there was the bones of a good story in there somewhere. I didn't get the whole making a musical out of it, thing though. With the jazz alone there'd have been enough musical content in it.

On the back of this I watched Whiplash last night on Netflix. You can certainly see some similiarities in terms of style, etc, but Whiplash was way better.

New National lampoons vacation film, tragically. The scene where they go for a swim in a lake by sewer is an excellent metaphore for the film.

We also saw Another 48 hours, a lot like the first one, but with all the casual racism toned down.

Green Room was ok. That lead actor's voice (I know he's died since) did my head in though" I watched Blue Ruin, the film that same director made before Green Room; bit meh as well.

Finally got to see Arrival. Pretty good though parts of the story don't stack up. Great visuals though.

I really must go see more films in 2017!

You guys are nuts. Green Room was fucking spectacular

Listen to this man. He knows his shit

Two excellent South Korean films over the last couple of days.

The Chaser - nail biting thriller about a cop turned pimp searching one of his girls who has been abducted by a serial killer. Incredibly tense. I was shouting at the screen at points. The killer is a particularly loathsome cunt. High velocity foot chases and fucking nasty fight scenes abound. 9/10

Train to Busan - zombie apocalypse on a train. Fun, frantic zombie flick. Starts out very well but sort of loses its way toward the end. I like siege movies set in one location - assault on precinct 13, green Room etc - and this works for the most part. 8/10

A good double bill is this and After Hours. Scorsese's creepiest comedies

After Hours is some trip.

I've watched some shite on Netflix recently...The Man In The Iron mask is there... big, biiiiig budget hokum. Absolute shit. Amusingly so. It has montages. How does Malkovich get jobs, he's appalling. He's like a parody.

 

[Anthony]

Anger management. Complete bollox, we turned it off.

 

[rettucs]

Jackie.

Very good. Very well acted, very beautifully filmed. It doesn't make heavy use of original footage but the parts they do use they manage do so seamlessly.

A bit bleak but, shur, we all know the story.

To Kill A Mockingbird (first half)..Youngfellat asked why do black and white films look so clear and good?
I told him it was because they are shot on excellent film without CGI.

i watched the original bad lieutenant the other night and it's a fucking masterpiece imo. such a dark, dark character.

i really don't understand how anybody thought the werner herzog remake stood up in any way - harvey keitel makes nick cage look like barney (p.s. i love herzog's docu-films).
